Facial Release Technique: A Primer


Experience the transformative power of the Cranial Facial Release Technique, a revolutionary treatment designed to release facial bones and improve overall alignment delivered by a specialized cranial facial release chiropractor.


This unique therapy, also sometimes simply called facial release technique, is based on the principles of Cranial Facial Release, targeting key areas of facial structure to provide relief from tension, sinus issues, and more.


Our method uses a gentle, balloon-assisted nasal adjustment to realign facial bones, release tension, and enhance overall cranial alignment.

What is Facial Release Technique?


The Cranial Facial Release Technique in an advanced on-surgical therapy that uses a small, medical-grade balloon-like device that when inflated, applies controlled pressure to gently mobilize bones in the nose, sinuses, and forehead. This nasal chiropractic adjustment helps restore natural alignment, reduce facial tension, and improve sinus function.


Whether you’re dealing with sinus congestion, headaches, or facial discomfort, this approach offers an effective, non-invasive solution.

Benefits of Facial Release Technique:

  • Releases Facial Tension: Gently adjusting facial bones can relieve chronic tension, particularly in the jaw, forehead, and sinus areas.
  • Improves Breathing & Sinus Drainage: The release of the nasal and sinus bones encourages better airflow and drainage, helping with congestion and breathing difficulties.
  • Reduces Headaches & Facial Pain: By realigning the facial bones, this technique can alleviate pressure and pain from conditions like TMJ or chronic sinusitis.
  • Enhances Facial Symmetry: Improves the overall alignment of the face, promoting a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
  • Supports Lymphatic Drainage: Stimulates circulation and drainage to reduce puffiness and promote skin health.

How Does Facial & Nasal Adjustment via This Method Work?

  1. A trained cranial facial release chiropractor assesses your facial and nasal anatomy to determine ideal placement.
  2. A soft, small balloon is gently inserted into the nasal passage.
  3. Using controlled inflation, gentle pressure is applied to adjust the nasal and sinus bones.
  4. The procedure is brief (often just minutes), non‑invasive, and designed for comfort. Many clients feel relief immediately.
  5. We recommend a series of sessions (usually 3) for lasting results, depending on your condition.

  • Sinus pressure
